Print a receipt for just one donor, or for all donors with unreceipted donations, or for a selected subgroup of all donors with unreceipted donations

Include up to three sections in the receipt:

A section to send with your tax form that just gives the total

An optional 2nd section with the details of each individual donation during the year, and

An optional 3rd section with the totals by category of the donations

Select different receipt formats for users in the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, and other countries

Email receipts or statements to donors with email addresses

For Canadian receipts, properly handle what the Canada Revenue Agency calls "split receipting" - the handling of donations where the donor receives an "advantage", by the use of an optional Eligible Amount field

For Canadian receipts, create special receipts for
Gifts in Kind / Non-Cash donations

Optionally print bilingual (French/English) or French-only receipts for users in Quebec, with an extra copy for the donor's provincial tax form

Print duplicate receipts (e.g. if someone loses one)

Print corrected receipts (if something in the receipt was incorrect)

Generate receipts in a format that you design, instead of the built-in formats, by using the mail merge features

Good to Know about DONATION

DONATION generates up to 99,999 numbered receipts per year.

DONATION has context-sensitive help and a full manual online.

It uses a powerful open source SQL-based Firebird database, which allows
the data to be accessed for other purposes (with appropriate tools).

It has simple options to backup all of your data to a local drive (preferably a USB memory key), and to restore such backups. Those backups can also optionally be followed by an encrypted backup to a secure Internet location, and those Internet backups can be restored.

DONATION lets you send encrypted backups to yourself or a colleague by email, and restore those backups.

DONATION reminds you to do backups of your database weekly, or at a frequency of your choosing.

The program can store donations for multiple organizations on the same computer.

You can import files of donors from assorted file formats, and import
recurring donations.

While the program is entirely in English, some entry of accents and characters for foreign languages is possible.

Currency and dates are displayed in your regional format, as defined in Windows Control Panel's Regional settings.

DONATION for Churches

DONATION provides features particularly useful to churches and other places of
worship that have regular collections, and/or use envelopes.
Check out the details of these features.

Product Requirements for DONATION

Also works on Macs running Parallels - which allows Windows
programs to run on a Mac. (Cooperstock Software does not offer support for
any issues specific to using DONATION on a Mac.)

Screen properties set to 800 x 600 or
higher, with Normal size Fonts selected in your Display settings,
or to 1024 x 768 or higher, if you are using Large size Fonts.
(DONATION will not work on a 640 x 480 display, and part of
the main window will be hidden if you use 800 x 600 resolution with
Large size Fonts.)

Free Lite Version of DONATION Software

The free Lite version of DONATION is feature-limited.
It is suitable for some small charities and churches, allowing them to process
up to 100 donors with donations in each year.

* In Canada, you need a charitable registration number to issue charitable tax receipts. While other organizations do send other types of receipts, they cannot be used as a tax deduction, and the receipts printed by DONATION may not be suitable for that use.
